Memories of Thelma –  Joyce Muir (friend)

This window is dedicated to our church by all the Mallard family in remembrance of Thelma and Ernest Mallard.

Thelma was a very important part of this church.

She was the fusser, the hugger, the greeter who made everyone feel welcome. As a fusser she put up the numbers of the hymns, checked the pews to make sure everything needed was there and lit the Christ candle to represent God in our midst.  She was very proud of being the fusser and when her illness prevented her from climbing the steps, she made sure that I did the job right.

She was on the Worship Council and also belonged to 2 UCW units.

Remember when we, as a congregation, wore hats to support Thelma when she lost her hair?

Angels that Thelma made were a gift to many of her friends – an angel making angels.

She was a wife, mother, grandmother and good friend.  What a beautiful person.

This lovely window depicts Thelma and Ernie join their baby daughter Shirley Ann in heaven.

God bless our memories of Thelma and Ernie.
